	Top Literature - Elections in Bangladesh (245 words) An election is a process in which a vote is held to elect candidates to an office. Bangladesh elects on national level a head of state - the president - and a legislature. Bangladesh has a unofficial two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party. Politics of Bangladesh (2530 words) The president of Bangladesh, while chief of state, holds a largely ceremonial post; the real power is held by the prime minister, who is head of government. Once elections have been held and a new government and Parliament are in place, the president's powers and position revert to their largely ceremonial role. Bangladesh's judiciary is a civil court system based on the British model; the highest court of appeal is the Appellate Court of the Supreme Court.
